Wegging Out … Again

Posted on

It isn’t my fault. It is Mother Nature’s. Claire holds a Friday facebook contest. We won this week. A new de-icer for the birdbath. I had to go pick it up.

They are right around the corner from Wegmans. I had planned to go to Roots today, but decided to hit Wegmans with my coupons after picking up my de-icer. And, some seed. And, another squirrel deterrent. A new witches hat, like this one. They are the best for keeping squirrels out of the good seed.

When I got to Wegmans, I wandered around looking for new items for my sixty at sixty challenge. I got plantains. I may be making mofongo this week. Hey, why not?

Auditioning the Reds

Posted on

The red wines. For a cellar tasting. We have to find something in our cellar at least ten years old. We looked at a very good Bordeaux from 2001. A Cos D’Estournel.

Not impressed. I don’t know why it doesn’t show well. It is a second growth Bordeaux. Bought as a future from MacArthur. It was thin, acidic, tannic and did not show any good undertones. It wasn’t bad, just disappointing.

I may have to bring a 2001 Linden. At least the Virginia wines can last for 12 years. Or more. Like our 1997 and our 1991. Or even the simple 2002 cabernet franc.

Pity the Bordeaux faded way too early. Anyone want a few bottles at a good price?
